00:00:22--> 00:00:34

Cuz I know some of you may just think about bullets banging into you. Tonight we're gonna bang, bang into your heart and your chest that you can't shrug it off. They will come back and they'll curse you.

00:00:36--> 00:00:51

And they prey upon you every single day. When you go back, I'm going to make you think that what bullets Am I taking in my daily life? What am I doing in my life? What's my purpose in life? You think we create your vanity, no purpose. They just walk around.

00:00:53--> 00:01:03

Cool about on the streets. That's not how Muslims should become. They begin to live a life like that a certain lifestyle. When they talk about the gangster lifestyle.

00:01:06--> 00:01:21

What's wrong with our society you know, every time these things happen, you know, we blame we will blame society. We said it was society's fault. It's society is not society. society doesn't force you to do things.

00:01:22--> 00:01:29

Gives you a choice. Every time you do something, a lot gives you a choice.

00:01:30--> 00:01:50

And it is up to you to do it or to leave it. When you pick up the cigarette and you've been putting in your mouth you're about to drink it. Has society said you better smoke. It never said you should smoke. That is your choice. When you pick up a gun and shoot somebody, it's in your hands. What society tells you to shoot somebody

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

gives you a nice choice.

00:01:57--> 00:01:57

I

00:01:59--> 00:02:02

grew up with you racketeering and prostitution

00:02:05--> 00:02:09

your testimony spit on your face. masala was worth more than that you think you're fat boy.

00:02:16--> 00:02:32

You know you look at our life look, we made a role model. Every Tom Dick and Harry we made our role models, the way that tell you to behave this how we behave. We spend more time watching X Factor than reading the series on the purpose of what

00:02:34--> 00:02:38

they tell you you know wear high heels you wear high heels, they tell you when

00:02:40--> 00:02:51

you wear baggy, baggy, let anyone touch you in tight. They tell you the Palestinian scarf is in fashion. And then you start wearing the Palestinians rose the cause.

00:02:52--> 00:02:57

They tell you you know where your trousers halfway up your backside, you wear your

00:02:58--> 00:03:02

your backside. Who wants to see the color of your Chevy anyway?

00:03:04--> 00:03:10

Seriously have some self respect. The purpose of them said when you die

00:03:12--> 00:03:18

then you will do whatever you wish. You walk around with your jeans outfit on your backside with your

00:03:19--> 00:03:21

butt you do what they tell you to do.

00:03:49--> 00:03:57

What are the things that most Muslim youth are doing? Sometimes you begin to shy away from the first thing that we find is alcohol

00:03:59--> 00:04:01

has become unfortunately a common trend

00:04:02--> 00:04:37

that Muslim youth drink alcohol, whatever the names may be, whiskey, Brandy, rum, vodka, whatever it may be common practice that Muslims get drunk, yet legless can't find their way home, abused as a Muslim rather than making their way home. At least some people needs to drink drinking secrecy, drinking the privacy of their own homes. But now we find that people out in the open behaving like disbelievers. But if someone may say well, you know, I don't drink alcohol.

00:04:38--> 00:04:41

I take some substances.

00:04:42--> 00:04:43

I smoke drugs,

00:04:44--> 00:04:53

told me in the Quran, where Allah said the Quran cocaine crack smoke, weed, skunk, marijuana spliff, reefer though.

00:04:54--> 00:04:59

White Lady, CO, small, brown, Charlie, whatever name you want.

00:05:00--> 00:05:01

People say to me Give it to me

00:05:02--> 00:05:04

and I'll give it up today my life

00:05:05--> 00:05:24

DVDs version number and I'll give you up in my life because it doesn't exist in the Quran. That's what I'm trying to say. But for your information it does exist inside the Quran. The Quran mentions quite clearly first that I mentioned in them and summer hammer isn't alcohol that's a loose translation, the meaning of

00:05:26--> 00:05:27

his mouth harp and

00:05:29--> 00:05:36

whatever intoxicates you your language, whatever rushes you stones you buzzes you chips you makes you feel good.

00:05:39--> 00:06:03

Full stop. The Sharia says that if it takes away your mind, it covers your mind shroud your mind takes away your senses. Finish and the story man wants to come to me and say to me, but you know, I don't think so much this stuff. How do you take a small spliff keep me mellow like Bob Marley used to take me to be controlling focus? We don't do that. No.

00:06:04--> 00:06:13

Would it create schizophrenia that's what it does split personality but obviously just becomes common normal practice right because for us, cuz I'm a big daddy

00:06:14--> 00:06:21

isn't it? I'm a big daddy if I move the key knows the keys isn't it? I'm a big daddy. That's why

00:06:22--> 00:06:27

you don't pick up on with me. Like I said the bullies I'm gonna come with a different bullies.

00:06:28--> 00:06:31

That's the bullies I'm gonna come with you gonna think about it for the rest of your life.

00:06:33--> 00:06:39

The people who take junkie like to come and say, well, I'll take small amounts and keep me mellow. keep me focused.

00:06:41--> 00:06:44

I don't get stoned. So it must be hard for me

00:06:45--> 00:06:50

to stick with some type of foods that's what they think. You play games with us.

00:06:51--> 00:07:08

Whatever stones you in large amounts becomes Haram in small amounts. The *ty And isn't that for you? I've imbalance then I get drunk while I take a kilo crack and then I get won't get drunk. Those are your mind

00:07:09--> 00:07:15

00:07:16--> 00:07:20

The city has said whatever in large amount toxic as you

That's my downfall. I tell you one thing. If I knew somebody, my family got offered jobs because of you. And I know who you are. I'll make sure I get up every single

00:11:49--> 00:12:07

time. And that's what a lot of mothers are doing. single night. Remember those words? If you've been trafficking drugs inside this community is a poor mother out there who gets up every single night and she's made that person that dog who got my son, my daughter is crap.

00:13:58--> 00:14:00

by a crack to get by.

00:14:01--> 00:14:02

00:14:04--> 00:14:06

A Muslim you want to look up to that thing? Yeah, that's me.

00:14:08--> 00:14:09

There's some people out there that made my life.

00:14:31--> 00:14:32

Mass life

00:14:33--> 00:14:34

for justified reasons.

00:14:35--> 00:14:37

You say them you feed me sorry about what you

00:14:38--> 00:14:40

say don't feel any sorrow at all.

00:14:45--> 00:14:54

But some of us when we go there, we think with a big Teflon isn't it? What's taking place in our community? The moment the term was the violence the crime?

00:14:55--> 00:14:58

Don't you think that these people don't know what's going on

00:14:59--> 00:14:59

and no one

00:15:00--> 00:15:09

I'm telling you now give me 10 minutes in other rock and I'll give you the names of the places all the big traffic cousins community you're telling me five oh don't know whose food

let them tell you whatever they're doing they're destroying their own race their own beat but their own culture their own identity that's what they're doing

00:15:31--> 00:15:35

00:15:48--> 00:15:49

Muslims in India discard what's wrong with free mixing what's wrong with people and input john john john Miller and enjoying himself What's wrong with that?

00:16:03--> 00:16:08

You know, I don't see no inclination towards women. I just go there and enjoy myself to admire

00:16:11--> 00:16:15

evil people serving sentences in the conversation you got some weird friends

00:16:17--> 00:16:21

at least were banged up in prison writing a sentence we got some phenomenal life you know

00:16:24--> 00:16:27

families praying next Mr. Miyagi, Jeff the system

00:16:28--> 00:16:46

I don't be religious. One minute next minute. I'm tracking down the system of brain football breaking the system.

00:16:47--> 00:16:53

Make up your mind. If you're a criminal, be a criminal. If you're good now

00:16:56--> 00:17:00

don't think that you have to get up in mixed messages. walk away from it.

00:17:02--> 00:17:16

First thing a man loves women. Have you ever thought about why the Koran saying right in the beginning man loves women. That's what man not that well. Then property the land and brand it Who says you know what today's brand in today's language?

00:17:18--> 00:17:23

You know what car for me? Was the logo in a Ferrari study of the horse. Look at it

00:17:25--> 00:17:26

still serves us today.

00:17:30--> 00:17:38

mostly young boys. Living in flesh will pass in 100,000 pounds of Aryan look up. Look at the

00:17:39--> 00:17:39

boy.

00:17:42--> 00:17:50

He tried to tell me that you got some footwork. You may you may fool your local Imam and say yeah, you know, I got it. You ain't got a day's work in your life.

00:17:51--> 00:17:57

You got a day's work in your life. You're trying to tell me that *. I work hard for my money.

00:17:58--> 00:18:02

That's right. You work hard for your money, don't use that money ain't worth anything.

00:18:05--> 00:18:07

This lifestyle is not acceptable.

00:18:08--> 00:18:14

This way of life, his behavior, these characteristics. It's not the way it's not for us.

00:18:25--> 00:18:26

Because today

00:18:28--> 00:18:32

what's happening to our people what's happening to our youngsters,

00:18:35--> 00:19:01

young offenders Institute's and juvenile prisons. They have more youngsters that are Muslim than any other population. That how many parents must be outside having to live with the fact of knowing that their son or daughter is behind bars. Not being faithful. Not being club.

00:19:03--> 00:19:13

How are you going to live your life where you have no access to your family, your loved ones, to your children, to absolutely nobody apart from your lawyer.

00:19:14--> 00:19:21

The only access you've got to somebody outside is your lawyer. And if somebody comes to visit you maybe once a month

00:19:24--> 00:19:26

so I asked this question to my congregation.

00:19:28--> 00:19:30

And I said to them what's up guys, Tom,

00:19:31--> 00:19:33

do you feel like you have achieved anything?

00:19:35--> 00:19:39

And believe me, some of these guys were the biggest gangsters in Birmingham.

00:19:40--> 00:19:43

Some of these guys when they would walk the streets people would think Saddam

00:19:44--> 00:19:44

Hussein

00:19:46--> 00:19:59

didn't have all these wonderful gangster names. crack. Yeah, mg. What crew you from of the Spartans? Well, crew you from reminds me of a story once I was teaching in Madrid

00:20:00--> 00:20:12

A few years ago and there was this wonderful child, hello concentration competition with another child. And they will argue instead what you're going to hit me. So that's how it goes to normal let you off because you touch me, I'll tell my uncle and

00:20:13--> 00:20:19

so he goes, What's your uncle gonna do? He goes, do you know who monkeys? He's from the MMP

00:20:23--> 00:20:23

fmk.

00:20:24--> 00:20:33

Okay. So once they finish their little thing, both of them suppose mm k equals mu t mafia Muslim crew

00:20:34--> 00:20:42

was like, What? Have you seen the end? Do you get that one? That's a hidden one. That's why we don't talk about that. Because it's awesome. Mm.

00:20:43--> 00:20:47

mk sounds better snappy. I've

00:20:48--> 00:20:54

got the x five. And it just goes on shooting all day. You know? And if anybody messes about then he's there to sort it out.

00:20:56--> 00:21:09

Wow. What a life? What a life Allah giving you man. You know, you've given you a life almost giving you health? Well, what do you do you drive an x, y work you seven and you're the biggest gangster there is.

00:21:10--> 00:21:22

You know till your windows base. And that's it. And every time we go past somebody, what do you do? You put the window down? No, honestly, it's reality, but have a look at our streets.

00:21:23--> 00:21:26

When you're driving up and down, if you're not one of them yourself.

00:21:28--> 00:21:29

Who's doing it

00:21:30--> 00:21:34

is everybody second cousin and first cousin and brother and uncle.

00:21:35--> 00:21:37

And this friend and that friend.

00:21:39--> 00:21:43

Most of the time, if it's not yourself, you need to sit in that car with them.

00:21:45--> 00:21:48

Because we start to respect these people.

00:21:50--> 00:21:54

We start to respect these people and look at them as if there's something in society.

00:21:56--> 00:21:58

And we start to idolize these people.

00:22:00--> 00:22:06

So somebody has a fight in the street. And everybody's on their toes on the earth this guy knocked him out he was sick five.

00:22:08--> 00:22:20

Me Go home and talk about he's hotline Mashallah, you know, he pumps this much amount of iron. So he's like, this is like that, or one punch. He was you know, it was a hook. And it was just one only and he knocked him out.

00:22:22--> 00:22:31

Right? So he's not done. So what do we do whatever file we got call him. And if he got his number in your mobile phone,

00:22:33--> 00:22:35

because he's one phone call away.

00:22:36--> 00:22:39

So somebody comes, or you walk into a shop and you forget

00:22:41--> 00:22:43

to put my phone and you call you up.

00:22:45--> 00:22:46

And this is the lifestyle we live

00:22:49--> 00:22:53

by, he brings shame upon us. And you think that a

00:22:54--> 00:23:22

lot of us sell them cuz he's gonna set a rule. And that rule was that you love your neighbors. That is a part of your responsibility in society, that you ensure that other people stay safe from your hands and your tongue and the way you interact with people and your social characteristics. But we have become animal like, we've become literally animals. In fact, Allah says

00:23:23--> 00:23:30

nothing sometimes. Even though Allah refers to us as an unobtrusive, we bring ourselves into that category

00:23:32--> 00:23:34

will wash the animals.

00:23:36--> 00:23:40

We are ashamed to call one brother.

00:23:41--> 00:23:55

We do with lip service, but we're ashamed of in reality. And if you ask yourself, Is this what Islam? Is? Is what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam emphasized? It's just what I'm not talking about in the corner.

00:23:56--> 00:23:58

We are totally opposite.

00:24:00--> 00:24:00

What

00:24:02--> 00:24:09

is it that the one who books the highest is the one who is the most hardest? But tell me what is it? Am I missing something?

00:24:10--> 00:24:19

Oh, do you see that if you swing your body to the left or the right a bit more, that you're practicing reflexes because I don't see it? But what is it? What is it that we're doing?

00:24:20--> 00:24:40

These are men who spent the whole of their life and dedicate every minute of their life to be like the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he is you meet, wanting to be gangsterism bopping every time we walk. And then I ask you who you like, Who is it? even know yourself? Who is this thing is cool.

00:24:42--> 00:24:48

If I asked you who you walk you like you could never give me a comparison. Because no one walks like that.

00:24:49--> 00:24:52

It's just something in your head. And you think how is

00:24:55--> 00:24:59

the professor Lysander when you walk in the streets, he will stop and give some time to the children.

00:25:00--> 00:25:09

He was talking to the elders. He was talking to everyone. And he's you will be so busy swinging your arms. You're lucky even hit the guy behind you even though he's a mile behind you.

00:25:11--> 00:25:14

And you start to wonder where we go in our life where we hit you.

00:25:18--> 00:25:20

And we tell you where the gangsters end up.

00:25:21--> 00:25:27

They end up in a six by seven piffle box, and it lies a bed

00:25:28--> 00:25:35

with a mattress half the size of the one that you probably sleep on now. And if you're a nice rich man, that is probably a quarter of your mattress.

00:25:37--> 00:25:47

There's a toilet in there. And every morning when he brushes his teeth, he looks into the reflection that he received from some silver paint that was left on a piece of wood.

00:25:49--> 00:25:54

He's not even allowed to keep his toothbrush or his teeth in his own room, and his cell is to live.

00:25:57--> 00:26:02

When he runs out of toilet roll, he has to wait for an application to get another toilet roll.

00:26:04--> 00:26:14

Okay, when he feels hungry, he hasn't got a microwave or a fridge to open. He opens a can of tuna, it's a bit of pickle in it puts it in a bread and

00:26:15--> 00:26:18

this is the paradise that every gangster gets.

00:26:19--> 00:26:22

And that is the paradise Starbuck keeps for people like that.

00:26:23--> 00:26:33

You want to be a gangster, or you aspire to be like one, or you think they're cool, and they're big in their bed. While like Come with me, I'll show you how much of a gangster they are now.

00:26:34--> 00:26:36

You know, once people go behind bars,

00:26:38--> 00:26:47

that's 10 years of, of certain people's lives. That's 15 years of people's lives gone in a flash, and there's nothing he can do about it.

00:26:48--> 00:26:50

Nothing at all. And you think about it.

00:26:52--> 00:27:15

As against the What did he achieve? He had a strap of a gun around him somewhere. They popped a few pills, maybe here and there, snorted and smoked. What else did he do with his life? So What's he done? He's matched his online phobias and living in a seven by six type of area that they have. I'm asking you is this what people want to achieve in life isn't even a goal?

00:27:16--> 00:27:28

What's wrong with you and me? What's wrong with our society? You know, every time these things happen, you know, we blame. We blame society. We said it was society's fault. It's society,

00:27:30--> 00:27:42

not society. society doesn't force you to do things alone gives you a new choice. Every time you do something unlucky gives you a choice.

00:27:43--> 00:27:52

And it is up to you to do it or to leave it. When you came to the mustard today, this society tell you to come to the masjid. When you go to school for education.

00:27:53--> 00:27:57

To go there, you could Skype when you go to university.

00:27:58--> 00:27:59

go to university.

00:28:00--> 00:28:08

It's your choice. When you pick up the cigarette and you've been putting in your mouth, you're about to drink it. Has society said you were a smoke

00:28:09--> 00:28:19

never said you should smoke. That is your choice. When you pick up a gun and you shoot somebody, it's in your hands. Once society tells you to shoot somebody

00:28:21--> 00:28:32

gives you a choice. And our problem is we look for an excuse to blame somebody else. If it's still society. You blame your parents. If it's not your parents, you blame your friends.

00:28:34--> 00:28:36

Let me tell you when it comes to your friends

00:28:37--> 00:28:43

Alonso just says in the Quran clearly. He says people in the deal judgment will come

00:28:44--> 00:28:50

and they will say that oh I love Ruby on to me good. I took this person as my friend

00:28:53--> 00:28:59

for he made me forget about the message that you had sent. I want Mr. We talking about we're talking about

00:29:03--> 00:29:07

these people will come in front of a lot and they'll have no excuse.

00:29:09--> 00:29:19

And you and you ask the person about their friends and their boys today. People are ready to die for these people. Go sit in prison for a week and see how many of your boys come to visit you.

00:29:21--> 00:29:22

Go fight a king

00:29:23--> 00:29:25

and see who comes to pay for it.

00:29:28--> 00:29:29

Your friends are your friends.

00:29:32--> 00:29:34

It's clear. The law says

00:29:39--> 00:29:42

that a man is upon the way of his friend.

00:29:44--> 00:29:53

So be careful when every one of you choose your friends. And nowadays What is this all about? The boys is all about the boys obviously youngsters,

00:29:55--> 00:29:59

the boys in the gangs and you know he's one of my boys. He's one of your boys.

00:30:00--> 00:30:17

Like I said, Go see in prison and have a look how many of your boys come to visit you had a brother from around this area, actually, he's a revert to this deal. And he came to me and he and he was upset. He was I can't believe because this is my second time in prison. Because you know, they couldn't even send me.

00:30:18--> 00:30:19

Boys,

00:30:20--> 00:30:37

boys, these were his boys. They didn't have that much inside them to send him an econ. And you were to die for these people. We sacrifice everything for these people to such an extent. We sacrifice our parents for these guys.

00:30:38--> 00:30:52

You and me, we do this all the time. You know what? You want my ask you to do something. You're like, you know what? Mom, I'm busy. I will text. Your mama. I'm going out with somebody. I'm going here. I've got plans, and you're ready to go with your boys.

00:30:53--> 00:31:04

This is the life that we live. People are married nowadays, they have 200 wives at home and a guy comes from Botswana. He's good in a jiffy. But

00:31:05--> 00:31:09

some people don't need to do this. Some people just want to hang out with their boys.

00:31:11--> 00:31:21

How can you do this when you disrespect those who love you the most? I asked those same people. I said guys, where are your boys? We don't have any boys.

00:31:22--> 00:31:28

And you know what they said to me? They said the only people that supported us through our sentence was our parents.

00:31:30--> 00:31:47

The only people sorry was that same old man who you used to hate the man you had no time for that came to your court cases that paid for your legal stuff that came and supported you that sent you postal orders when you didn't have a penny to your name.

00:31:49--> 00:31:51

And use Think about your friends.

00:31:52--> 00:31:53

Who are these people?

00:31:56--> 00:32:00

You know one expensive Rule of Life. I will tell you today.

00:32:01--> 00:32:07

Keep your friends as friends. Friends will always remain friends your best friend is an Islam

00:32:10--> 00:32:14

best friends as an Islamic term. And I'll tell you why. It's understanding.

00:32:16--> 00:32:18

Friends are always friends, brothers always brothers.

00:32:19--> 00:32:20

family are always family.

00:32:22--> 00:32:29

Your friends, just your friends love your friends. Okay, but don't over love them. love them because that's a part of our Deen.

00:32:31--> 00:32:45

If you if you have a friend who's a Muslim and you love him for the sake of Allah, that's brilliant. That's what you should be doing. But if you have a friend, you love for the sake of Allah, he's your best friend. And then he goes on beyond that. Have you seen with two best friends? Cory what happens?

00:32:46--> 00:32:55

We've seen what happens they become the worst of enemies. And he's the lower eyelid he was some of them in fact mentioned this to us over 1400 years ago.

00:32:57--> 00:32:59

You know, these gets the friends you have

00:33:00--> 00:33:12

these gifts to people, you want to be nice. Boy you do and ultimately you're disrespecting your father and your mother, your father and your mother. Who are these people? Who are these people?

00:33:15--> 00:33:17

I don't even need to stand here and tell you.

00:33:20--> 00:33:26

Because the fact is they your parents, regardless of what Allah said, regardless of

00:33:28--> 00:33:30

Rama said, You must love them.

00:33:32--> 00:33:47

There is no excuse. Why should somebody have to tell you that I lost commanded you to love your parents? What are you so stupid that you can't even see that these people ought to be respected? You only came to Tanya because of these people?

00:33:49--> 00:34:11

And what have you forgotten? The times when you were young and you have children? Every time that they picked you up when you cried? Every time they fed you when you are hungry? Every time when you scream that smell would be loved to them. But do we have to remind you that Allah said something about this, that you are not gonna have enough common sense to remember that these people should be loved?

00:34:13--> 00:34:20

me Do I have to tell you from Heidi, what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said about parents? Do I really have to do this?

00:34:21--> 00:34:38

You know, every individual realizes once they become parents what it's like. Unfortunately, though, the table switch because when you have your own children, you start loving them and you forget about the love that your parents gave you. When you were a child.

00:34:41--> 00:34:43

I'm asking you what you ready to sacrifice that?

00:34:45--> 00:34:55

For your friends to be a one to be against them to be a part of the 17 crew. Are you ready to sacrifice that For what? For a six by seven cell

00:35:00--> 00:35:13

in the same room, you have to sleep and you have to excrete. You're ready to sacrifice that to be one of them. To show me one gangster in the history of humanity, that I've achieved something.

00:35:14--> 00:35:17

Show me just one gangster one only.

00:35:19--> 00:35:47

You can't even show me half of one, because they weren't even men. Because if they were real men, they wouldn't carry bullets on them. They wouldn't be walking around with knives. They wouldn't be there looking for trouble. A real man is that man who stands in front of Allah azza wa jal was every other human being is seeking a real man is that man, when he becomes he becomes angry. He controlled his anger. A real man is that man who looks out for his brother not kills his brother.

00:35:50--> 00:35:51

That's a real man.

00:35:52--> 00:35:57

And we talk about gangsters. We watch TV, and we think Wow, look at this guy.

00:35:59--> 00:36:11

Everybody loves him cuz he can rock when he sings. Well, everybody likes him and he's been shot nine times. He like a cat. Let him be like a cat. What difference that makes you You and me.

00:36:12--> 00:36:14

And you know what I'm talking about.

00:36:17--> 00:36:20

They know gangster's paradise brothers, let me tell you that. Now, clearly.

00:36:22--> 00:36:25

There are no gangsters in paradise.

00:36:26--> 00:36:51

You want paradise you want to live and die for the sake of Allah, you know, the same gangsters. You know, when these cartoons and those issues took place? There was a same gangsters, the one that came to the streets to protest, an issue protesting. What I'm saying is it was all good. You came to protest, because what were you doing? Because you're against that you're defending the honor of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:36:56--> 00:36:59

When you yourself could honor the prophecy

00:37:01--> 00:37:05

by even growing a beard, when you can honor the deen by standing and praying.

00:37:07--> 00:37:10

What I would have loved to ask those people.

00:37:11--> 00:37:15

I would have loved those people. How many of you but no one?

00:37:17--> 00:37:21

Let alone honor the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by going on a protest?

00:37:23--> 00:37:25

We don't need people like this.

00:37:28--> 00:37:35

When an issue comes up, what happened? Everybody's on their heels. Oh, let's go. Let's go into production. You can't even

00:37:38--> 00:37:39

you can't even read

00:37:43--> 00:37:48

for yourself ready to go on and show everybody the sacrifice? What you sacrificing for them.

00:37:49--> 00:37:55

You can't even sacrifice your time to pray. You can sacrifice your time to learn about learning something.

00:37:57--> 00:38:01

And when you're ready to go to the streets, don't be fooled.

00:38:03--> 00:38:09

I swear by Allah these people they may remain gangsters in dunya. By tell you there will be no gangsters in general.

00:38:10--> 00:38:13

There will be many gender, there will be women in gender.

00:38:14--> 00:38:18

May Allah make us amongst those pious men and women of gender.

00:38:19--> 00:38:25

Male love the love if there is any love for these horrid people away from us and from our hearts.

00:38:28--> 00:38:34

Well, like no man will succeed by chilling with his friend and by disrespecting his parents.

00:38:36--> 00:38:39

There are no gangsters in paradise.
